A day off like that one is rare now that Lambert is back on the road, sharing her new music off her The Weight of These Wings double album.

And she says she is just starting to get the kinks worked out.

“It’s like riding a bicycle,” she said. “Your muscle memory kicks back in, and you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, this is what it’s like to be on the stage.’ It’s a good adjustment. It’s something different.”

Adding new songs to her set list for the first time in a few years has been another kind of adjustment, and she says it’s pushed her out of her comfort zone in a good way.

“Honestly, it’s been an adjustment to do try to these new songs,” she said. “I don’t know that I was emotionally prepared to be singing them live. It’s still really fresh. Doing the songs live is a whole different ball game.

“But I feel like that’s my job. That’s what my fans expect from me – honesty — and I did it on this one even more than ever. I’m proud that I went there,” she said.
